Greater Threat to Humanity: Abortion or Global Warming

[GregoryPalamas]

After reading all of these opinions I’m still in favor of global warming. Not only will I get my palm trees but agriculture and probably industry will flourish as never before.

Let’s hear it for global warming!!! Hip, hip, hurrah!

All the evidence is that a warm earth is a fruitful and life-friendly earth. Yet no one is urging us to plan to capitalize on this. I wonder why?

Vern,

There’s really no future in cheering for Armageddon yet people seem to do it all the time. I’m cheering for God’s coming blessings.

An wise man once said, “Find out where the Spirit is going and go there.” Seems like good advice to me.

There’s an old saying; “Those who can, do. Those who can’t do teach. Those who can’t teach become critics.”

We are seeing the critics in their glory on this issue.

How many people has global warming killed? I need proof not just your opinion. I also need proof that global warming is man made, not just opinion. I believe that we should do the things you suggest and I do them not so much because of global warming but because I don’t have the money to waste on oil and in my town the recycled garbage is picked up for free, we have to pay for the stuff that goes into the land fill.

No one I know ever said it would, but we are much closer to overturning Roe v Wade because of his Supreme Court appointments. Overturning Roe will not stop abortion, it will just send it back to the states to determine if they want to allow abortion or not.

Are you implying that Bush is responsible for global warming? If so where is your proof?

The factual issue is that a warmer climate [we’re only talking about ONE DEGREE PER CENTURY according to the computer simulation models] would result in more bountiful crops and better diets for everyone, resulting in a healthier population.

For reference, one can look at the changes in diet in Europe and in health (height, for example) as a result of poorer diets when they had cooler climates.

Let me see, Global Warming, according to its proponents started in the 1980s (or the 1880s, or maybe in the 1950s), and Bush was elected in 2000. So he’s definitely responsible for Global Warming.:whacky:

Seems to me, that previous scientists and politicians who raised the alarm about either global warming or global cooling or the end of natural resources check out the Club of Rome doomsday scenario] or … , also said we only had 20 (TWENTY) years left before the end of the world.

And … as of 11:15 am today, we are still here.

So, I guess God isn’t paying much attention to the scientists and politicians. [Or maybe He is, but … well, you know what they say, if you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plans are … so I guess God is laughing.]

THis is very funny. Reminds me of Nero playing his fiddle. Why is it that so many people find it easier to believe that God came to earth in human form, or split the seas, or was born from a virgin, than it is to believe that our population of 6 billion, soon to be 9 billion is responsible for putting enough fossil fuels in the air to cause a major climate shift with disasterous consequences?

Send me your credit cards, PIN and secret password, checkbook, deed to your house and title to your car, and I will save the world!

Don’t delay! Do it today!

That’s what Algore has done. Follow the money. It may even take him to the White House.

I’m so sick of people putting Al Gore down. It may be true that he didn’t create the Internet, but he did invent the dance all computer programmers use, the Al Gore Rhythm.

I don’t think that people find the fact that we could change the environment to be unbelievable. I think most people find the picture patinted by those who lobby on the Global Warming issue to be less than convincing. Those are two different things.

Most people here would probably agree that conservation is something that should be practiced for the sheer priniciple of it whether or not there are global consequences. It is both responsible and moral. However, I fail to be impressed by claims of doom because our atmosphere and environment is changing. I hope that everyone realizes that nothing on earth exists in a static state. The middle east was once a bread basket and the nile once provided a great bounty to Egypt they don’t now. By the year 1000 England was a warm country now not so much. The earth changes it’s a living thing.

Will catastrophies hit yes but they’re going to whether we drive SUV’s or sit at home buring dung fires. Does this excuse us from not trying to avoid self destructive behavior? No, but considering that Mount Saint Helens pumps more polutants into the air than the humans in Washington do I think we’re going to have to step things up a notch just keep pace with what the earth does to itself.

So yes lets all be respectful of the environment but lets not equate theory and possibly the inevitable with the murder of children happening today that is 100% preventable and 100% a human issue.

Does this mean the growing season will be long enough here for me to grow water mellons? I have never been able to get them to mature before the first frost. I want a mango tree, a papaya tree, avocado tree, azallia bush and a pineapple plant! I will get back to you with the rest of my list.

I would LOVE to have a mango tree!!!

But, alas, even the most extreme global warming adocates won’t give us that much additional in temperature.

Alas and alack.

All excellent points, and well said!

Today’s news: that asteroid will miss Earth by 10-12 Earth Radii (40-70K miles). No mass extinction event in our future!

I certainly want to leave Earth in as good or better shape than I found it. Why would I want my grandkids to suffer for my folly? I also want them to have a chance to live as good a life as I have. They should have the opportunities to travel, live in comfort and have a good paying job like I did. I don’t toss garbage out my car window and I don’t burn excessive fuel but I am not going to live in a 2 room apartment with no air conditioning and a wood stove for heat because someone has a knee jerk reaction to global warming. I don’t believe it is man made.

If it were possible to ask the thousands of babies killed by abortion today which was the greater threat, what do you think their answer would be? I have absolutly no doubt that abortion is by far the greater evil and threat.

And there’s a good point. Abortion proponents will say, “What about children born into poverty? Or of drug-adicted mothers? Or seriously handicapped?”

And my response is, “Go find children like that and ask them if they want to be killed right now. If they want to live, who are you to decide they should die?”

Vern, you raise a valid point. The aborted babies are involved in a non-consensual procedure. Hey kid, do you want for me to kill you? Right here and now with a sharp blade followed by being sucked into a pump.

A few years ago, a judge in Morristown New Jersey upheld some abortion law [seemingly against his own personal moral sense] by stating that abortion was a “legal execution”.

It’s too bad he didn’t take the next logical step and ruled that the Constitution prohibits execution without trial.
